Ten days of enduro from Damavand down to the shores of the Caspian Sea, with a detour through the desert: Exoride's exclusive trip since 2014. Our departures there are suspended for now; this page tells the trip as it is, and will remain.
The trip as we created it. The day-by-day, the lodging and the kit list are on the trip page.
A mountain country few riders imagine: volcanoes, humid forests on the sea side, dry slopes on the south side, deserts. And people who invite you in before asking your name.
The range that separates Tehran from the sea: 3,000 m passes, volcanic slopes, shepherds' huts and hot springs. The sporting heart of the trip.
The northern side, green and humid, dropping to the sea: forests, rice fields, wooden villages, and a total contrast with the south.
Sand and salt tracks, caravanserais, bazaars and Persian cooking: the last two days, to come home with the whole country in your eyes.
These are the areas we ride. The trails themselves are discovered on the day.
Exoride opened the first enduro trip in Iran in 2014, after weeks of scouting and meeting local partners who became friends. Red Bull TV, Pinkbike and Big Bike came to see: their reports are in our press review.
This trip has never been a line in a catalogue. That is why we do not sell it while we cannot guarantee it, and why we will run it again as soon as we can.
From the summit of Asia's highest volcano down to sea level, in ten days.
Sub-zero temperatures possible on the volcano, cold-weather kit essential. The two high stages allow you to step back at any moment.
A spell of rain is possible on the sea side depending on the currents; elsewhere, dry and warm.
The final days, hard light and wide open space: glasses, sun cream and plenty of water.
Thank you Christian for your good humour, your humility and above all for the knowledge of your region! Even in Breton weather you found us beautiful, beautiful lines. And thanks too to the driver, discreet but just as friendly, and who takes good care of our bikes!
Upper Valais outing, perfect weather, pure pleasure. Thanks to Chris and his organisation, everything was superb!
The very best! Insane singletracks, 6,400 m of descent, in a superb atmosphere among riders! Just like Finale, but on Valais soil. Can't wait for the next outing with Chris and Exoride!
Because the security situation on the ground no longer allows us to consider going. Everyone already booked has been contacted individually. We will publish an update as soon as the situation allows us to consider going back.
Not for now: we would rather promise nothing we cannot keep. Subscribe to the newsletter: that is where a restart will be announced first.
A flight to Tehran, at your own cost; we advised on times so the group arrived together. Everything else was included: transfers, 4x4 shuttles, lodging, luggage.
It had to be applied for in advance, allowing at least fifteen days, before booking the flight. We sent the procedure step by step and supported the application.
3.5/4 technical and physical: long days, altitude, committing descents. It is, with Georgia, our most demanding trip.
A serviced enduro bike and cold-weather kit for Damavand. E-Bikes are not possible in Iran: batteries do not travel by air and there is no rental on the spot.
The day-by-day, the lodging, the meals included and the kit are detailed on the trip page. In short: hotels in Tehran and on the coast, mountain huts and family homes in the mountains.
Georgia is the closest in spirit: the same demand, the same change of world, horses instead of shuttles. Morocco, for its part, runs all winter.
In the meantime there is the Caucasus, the Atlas and the Alps. Subscribe to the newsletter: the restart will be announced there first.

Wide paths, rolling doubletrack, the odd loose rock. MTB without traps, to build pleasure and confidence.
Narrow but flowing trails: moderate roots and rocks, wide switchbacks, a few spots where you pick your line.
Rock gardens, steps, tight switchbacks, off-camber: the terrain demands clean lines and active riding.
High mountain, exposed sections, big steps: places where mistakes cost, precise riding is mandatory.
Short outing, minimal climbing: shuttles or lifts do the work, frequent breaks.
On an e-bike, one physical grade lower is often enough: ask us.
Half to full mellow day: we pedal, but the pace leaves time for the view.

A proper MTB day: hours in the saddle, real climbing, punchy sections. You need juice, not a palmares.
